Q : What do you think your chance of winning is?
More important thing is if I can make into the finals. I haven't been into the finals for a very long time. I hope I face MVP in the finals. I want to make the most classical finals in Starcraft 2 history. I really love Mc's attitude. This sounds like a great promise to all his fan. Can not stop loving Mc.

Really liking MC these days. Hes funny, entertaining, skilled, does constant BM for show but yet remains humble and respectful to his opponents. Hes just a good guy overall. I am a Mc fan here. But I have to say I really hope MVP can recover. It was painful and sad to see Mc going down because of playing in too many tournaments and travelling too much and therefore, no time to practice. I would love to see Mc dominate. But I hope if he does defeat MVP. It is the time MVP is playing his best. Good luck to both and thx both for showing good games.
imo both of those guys are mechanically the at the very top of their race. but mvp's playstyle is more solid, mc's playstyle is much more risky. i wish he would play just a little bit more macro-oriented and passive.
and because MVP's like rock solid in that regard, i don't see him going down like MC... he can't win every tournament, but he'll win most of them.
also note that all 3 players besides him are like top3 of their race, players who managed to take series off MVP (and those players aren't too many)- conclusion, the finals will be ridiculously high level.
go MC!

This makes me sad, MVP is currently the best Terran in SC2 no doubt, and people never talk about him... No wonder he thinks he doesn't have any fans....

He should SCV rush more often

I think MVP's problem is that he's so much become "the guy that's going to win", that many people can't cheer for him anymore, because it's too easy.

Yeah, I wonder if he knows about his fanclub here.. He is my favorite terran, and it pains me to see him fight through his wrist problem to play...

he is good, he is nice, he looks good, but he doesn't really show an interesting personality there's your answer

Pretty much ... he plays with drive, determination and grace, but the love doesn't show through.
At least to a western audience.

Bisu is probably the most popular progamer, but he has the most boring personality in progaming, so it's obviously not that.

hehe yeah.
idra and whitera come to mind, the 2 probably most popular foreigners, both of them with very characteristic attributes. other popular players have interesting styles, an interesting story about them, look extreme or something.
MVP doesn't have any of those... he's always diplomatic, mannered, without emotions he calmly destroys everyone with standard, maybe boring... but ridiculously good play.

he also has like 7 years of bw history to develop all that cult around him, and he looks like a korean fashion model, mvp has none of those... and he actually is really funny based on his battlenet attack video

The problem with being an MVP fan is that he is the best. That's it. When you watch him play, you're watching the in-game MVP, the real-life MVP becomes neglected, because he's not the most charismatic person. I've never really been an MVP fan because of this, nor have I ever disliked him. I've simply always respected him and seen him as one of, if not the best. (Which I think he is now) I feel pretty indifferent about him otherwise.

Personally I think the opposite. Everyone had a favourite in either Flash, Jaedong or Bisu. All were top tier, but Bisu were such a boring person that I've always disliked him. Jaedong was often cold, but in a manly, respect inducing sort of way Flash was a bit more unpredictable, one moment a killing machine, the other a humourous midget with a twitch eye. Therefore, for me it was always Flash > Jaedong > Bisu.

MC being the protoss president
What a boss. Go MC you can take this!

I think MC said it best about pro-gaming. Very touching to hear.
Call me crazy, but I think that MMA is the favorite to beat MVP. Exhaustion has to be playing a role in MVP play, and I would say in his tired condition, MMA should be a favorite against MVP.
|
I really like MC's opinion here. You can tell he thought about what he would say beforehand and chose his words carefully. (either that, or the translator is just amazing)

Sick interviews. Thanks cp for the fast translations. Love these.

+ Show Spoiler +Q : How do you feel about advancing into the semi-finals
Leenock is one of Zerg players that I normally win against so I was confident. This is the first time I played with him in the official match but winning over Leenock on the ladder helped me. But Leenock played very well in the third set so I was panicking but the coach got my mind straight up again.
I know it's nearly impossible because of the differences in infrastructure, but in the future I hope western teams get coaches for this reason alone. A good coach can really help you get out of a negative mindset at times.
|
I wish the best of luck to MC. I hope he can get back in shape, if i may say so. Thanks for the interview!
